Honest insights from past guests on our Trekking and Hiking Ecuador tours
Khadijah T | Traveled in August
G adventures is at the top of my list now for all future travel. I would have never thought I would have felt comfortable traveling solo until this trip. It has given me the courage and the wings to fly now and go all over the world to the places no one would go with me. I trust G adventures and I look forward to my next adventure which I’m planning now. Thank you for the owners and all the people who carefully create and organize these well planned out experiences. This was a life-changing experience and I’m looking forward to more in the future.
Vanessa W | Traveled in June
Really nice experience, I saw a lot things and had many highlights. It was a pitty that our first CEO was not that good and caused some negative vibes in the group. The Lares Trek was cool and no problem at all for me regarding the hike but some people should have not be on the trek because they struggled really hard and we needed to wait really long for them.
Catherine D | Traveled in May
This trip was the experience of a lifetime. I’m so thankful to G Adventures, our CEO Felix, and to the other travelers in my group for making this trip better than I could have imagined! We got to see and do so much, every day was exciting and well organized.
Jacob M | Traveled in May
Amazing experience, made me full in love with Peru! The massive famous hikes could of been advertised in La paz, has 1 of the most famous 6000M hikes in the world and would of been nice to know about it or put it in the optional activities so I missed out on that unfortanilty
David S | Traveled in April
The family trip was a great experience for my teens due to the activities, particularly the swimming and snorkelling and having kids of similar ages to experience it with. We had done this trip 18 years ago as couple (prior to kids) and were thrilled our teens loved it this second time around with us!
Lisa F | Traveled in April
Fabulous! We appreciated the support pre-trip as well, with arranging last minute airport transport and an extra night stay in Quito. Staff were helpful and professional. We loved the Galapagos and appreciate this trip so much!
